The job description

In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next-generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high-quality, real-world input.

Review, evaluate, and provide expert feedback on scenarios and deliverables produced by other contributors.
Validate that all project materials align with actual federal planning, evaluation, and reporting practices.
Leverage your background in policy analysis, decision memo writing, and preparation of executive briefings or after-action reports.
Collaborate asynchronously and communicate effectively to ensure clarity and consistency in project deliverables.

Preferred Qualifications

Current or prior experience in federal program, policy, or operational planning (such as OPM series GS-0343, GS-0301, or equivalent roles).
Demonstrated expertise in writing decision memos, program evaluations, briefings, or after-action reports for senior leaders.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with attention to detail and clarity.
US-based contributor possessing in-depth knowledge of federal government processes.
Experience with performance measurement, program evaluation, or strategic planning in government settings (nice to have).
Background supporting headquarters, program offices, or planning staff within federal agencies (nice to have).
